After this week we are fully equipped for the holidays. Yet there is still something missing: the new festive trend color black! In the last years super dark nails have become really popular for festivities. So it’s no surprise to find black or near black polishes in the holiday collections of big nail polish brands like Zoya. As you might guess, there are quite a few polishes in my stash that fall in this dark as night category 🙂

It is Saturday, so why not start this post with an aperitif: a black glitter topper! The picture shows the new glitter polish OPI Comet In The Sky from the Gwen Stefani Holiday Collection. It contains black and iridescent glitter in different sizes. I applied 1 coat on middle and ring finger over Azature Nude Diamond. Cheers! 😉

A rather new polish of mine is Zoya Storm (ring), a black crelly with holographic particles in it. The Liquid Sand OPI Emotions (middle) is also entirely black with the typical texture grit and black hexes. I adore both polishes! OPI First Class Desires (pinkie) from the new OPI Gwen Stefani Holiday Collection is perfect for everyone who wants something a little bit warmer. It is a blackened purple with a strong gold shimmer. Zoya Sansa is extremely similar and we might as well call them dupes. Check out my comparison of the two here. And then I also included a black jelly from KBShimmer in this picture: KBShimmer Strung Out (index). It was released one year ago at Christmas and it contains circle glitter in gold, silver, green, blue and red. It reminds me of twinkling Christmas lights in the night!

Black and red are best friends and make for a mysterious, vampy look. You just have to make sure not to be mistaken for the devil’s mistress 😉 There are two black based polishes with red glitter from OPI. On one hand we have the Liquid Sand OPI Stay The Night (index) which is a textured polish and on the other hand there is OPI Today I Accomplished Zero (middle) which is supposed to be worn shiny (you need a good amount of top coat though). On my ring finger I am also wearing a black based polish but this one has silver glitter in it: Sally Hansen Luxe Tux. I would like it even more with gold instead of silver glitter! I also had to add OPI Live And Let Die (pinkie) to this little compilation because it is just drop-dead gorgeous. It is a greenish black shimmer with a superb formula. The polish applies like a dream and covers completely in 1 coat. I guess I will order a back-up bottle right now!!

I love series of this kind, with colour selections. I just found your blog and… wow I love it, it’s awesome! Perfect nails, perfect pictures, perfect layout, perfect writing! ❤ I'll look up at you as one of my "blogging role models" 🙂
